1. And least likable -- sorry but the presidential vote is personal

This person will be the "face" of the country and will be in our homes via TV more than almost any other person over the next four years. People don't vote for candidates they just don't like ...

[SaveElmer]

2. The poll dosn't say Hillary is not likeable...nt

[LSparkle]

7. There is a poll out from Des Moines Register out today that says that

[SaveElmer]

10. No it doesn't

It asks who is the most likeable...

I have two friends...I like one more than t he other...doesn't mean I don't like the other...it's a matter of degree...

The proof of this is that Hillary maintains high approval rating as well...

[Mass]

14. No, it does not. Neither does it say that Obama is NOT fiscally responsible or socially progressive

[SaveElmer]

18. I didn't say it did...nt

[Mass]

23. Neither did it say that Obama was not experienced. which you implied.

[rinsd]

11. Hillary comes in 3rd in likeability in the Des Moines poll.

[oasis]

25. Experience, competence and leadership. That's what "people" do vote for. (eom)

[Mass]

3. Also, and as interesting , most ego driven, most negative, less principled, less able to bring ...

together Democrats and republicans, ...

Otherwise said, politics as usual.

and Obama most civil in tone, most able to bring real change, most likeable.

[SaveElmer]

8. I agree she is ego driven...

All presidential candiates are...doesn't mean they aren't sincere as well...

In fact I am glad they are ego driven...means the are self assured...

[Mass]

12. Sure you are happy she is seen as most negative and less able to bring a real change as well.

Personally, if I have to choose where Obama wins in this poll and where Clinton wins, I would take Obama's number.

[SaveElmer]

15. People vote on who can get the job done...

On those measures Hillary wins...

[Mass]

16. No, not if she cannot bring real change. Obama wins.

[calteacherguy]

24. The ego is an illusion.

The more ego-driven a person is, the less enlightened they are.

[calteacherguy]

4. Those numbers are all pretty close, many within MOE.

And "most experienced," whatever it means, doens't mean anything. It's vague.

Experienced at failing to get health care reform passed because of her ego-driven, stubborn, self-centered personality perhaps?

Experience at doing the politically expedient thing in voting for an unnecessary war?

Experience in riding her hubby's coattails?

What?

[SaveElmer]

5. You think 39% to 5% is within the MoE?...nt

[calteacherguy]

6. I said most. And read my post again. nt

[rinsd]

9. Out of the 7 listed by Elmer, 3 are within the MOE.

[calteacherguy]

13. Thank you...and most of the rest are close to the MOE.

Not that it means much, people are looking for the most principled and honest candidate.

[rinsd]

21. Last I checked, 3 out of 7 is not most. And the others are way beyond the MOE.

[SaveElmer]

26. So you agree then that 3 is not most...?

As to your comment...sound like you had it pegged more accurately last month

“Sounds to me like the Obama campaign is looking for any sort of excuse they can muster to throw mud at Clinton, frankly. “

[calteacherguy]

27. Sure. Big deal...you get 3 of 7. Whoopee..

[SaveElmer]

31. I hope calteacherguy isn't a mathteacherguy,...nt

[calteacherguy]

32. Wow...big insult. Real zinger there. Good for you. nt

[SaveElmer]

33. Thank you...nt

[Quixote1818]

17. Biden and Richardson are much more experienced than Clinton

shows how little people know about the candidates still.

[calteacherguy]

19. And most importantly they've learned from thier experience.

And they've earned it themselves.

[SaveElmer]

29. calteacherguy on Hillary's experience in the White House...not too long ago...

They're team players, and Hillary Clinton was an intergral and active member of the Clinton White House. She's also interacted extensively with foreign leaders, and those connnections will be of great benefit in restoring our image abroad. - Calteacherguy

[calteacherguy]

34. Have a link for that? nt

[SaveElmer]

35. Yes I do...

[calteacherguy]

36. Well, most American voters are open to changing their minds.

That's bad for Hillary, but good for all the rest.

[calteacherguy]

37. But did she learn? nt

[NewHampster]

20. Nice numbers

but the only polls that matter come in January.

On the 3rd. it will be

Hillary 38
Edwards 22
Obama 14
others nil

[yourout]

30. I seriously doubt it.......If Hillary wins it will be close. Likely less than 5%.

[Quixote1818]

22. Most Effective Negotiator should go to Richardson by a mile

What are these people smoking? :crazy:

[Quixote1818]

28. Most Socially Progressive should go to Kucinich with Clinton coming last

Most knowledgeable about the world should probably go to Richardson or Biden.

[venable]

39. agree nt

[venable]

38. that anyone cd think she is the most socially progressive strains credulity

she is simply not even close to that.

Kucinich
Gravel
Edwards
Obama
Richardson
Dodd
Biden
Clinton

the power of obfuscation and smoke and mirrors is all that could account for this.

by Presidential, they must mean her husband was once the President.

Fiscally responsible is all that I'd give her, and I don't absolutely mean that as a compliment.

[Quixote1818]

40. You have it in the right order

Edwards use to be less progressive but I would agree he has moved into the #3 spot.

43. Not sure I'd rank Gravel as highly with his support for a flat income tax...

But other than that, you have the right figures here I think.

[bowens43]

42. If that's so....

the Democratic party is in sad fucking shape. Hillary? Unbelievable.

[Perry Logan]

45. This proves that being badmouthed makes your poll numbers go up.

[progressoid]

46. Hillary: "biggest disappointments"

She topped the list of candidates whose nomination would be one of the biggest disappointments at 27 percent.

I was part of this Register poll. :)

[cuke]

47. Of course she is

I knew that
